NFR66AQ1: Eglestonite with Calomel and Mercury

A novelty for Spanish mineralogy (see: La extraordinaria paragénesis de minerales de mercurio de Usagre) Group of Eglestonite crystals -a mineral species produced by the alteration of other mercury minerals - with the dominant forms of the octahedron, on matrix, of a honey color, translucent, and completely filling a vug, as well as being dispersed in the rest of the piece. They are accompanied by Calomel crystals with an adamantine luster, and small Mercury droplets that are sustained thanks to their high surface tension. Both of the mercury halide species have been analyzed and we will send a copy of the analysis to the buyer. These minerals are photosensitive, blackening easily in sunlight and even under the light of a lamp, so we recommend keeping them in the dark.

NHM27AQ1: Eglestonite with Calomel and Mercury

A novelty for Spanish mineralogy (see: La extraordinaria paragénesis de minerales de mercurio de Usagre) Group of Eglestonite crystals -a mineral species produced by the alteration of other mercury minerals - with the dominant forms of the octahedron, on matrix, with a honey color and translucency, completely filling a vug, as well as being dispersed on the rest of the piece. They are associated with Calomel crystals with an adamantine luster, and small Mercury droplets that are sustained thanks to their high surface tension. Both of the mercury halide species have been analyzed and we will send a copy of the analysis to the buyer. These minerals are photosensitive, blackening easily in sunlight and even under the light of a lamp, so we recommend keeping them in the dark. The specimen comes from the Antonino Bueno collection, whose label we will send to the buyer.

NFF89AQ0: Eglestonite with Calomel and Mercury

A novelty for Spanish mineralogy (see: La extraordinaria paragénesis de minerales de mercurio de Usagre) A group of Eglestonite crystals -an alteration mineral, product of other mercury minerals-, on matrix, green-colored and translucent. They are accompanied by small Calomel crystals with an adamantine luster and small drops of Mercury that hold together thanks to their high surface tension. The quality and color of this sample is exceptional, compared to other specimens from the same discovery. Both species of mercury halides have been analyzed and we will send a copy of the analysis to the buyer. These minerals are photosensitive, easily blackening in sunlight and even in the light of a lamp, so we recommend keeping them out of the light.
